Analysis of I ♥️ U
Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)
Still don't know who were
Those kids I could see
Until I saw her
Card she made for me.
Her name Dominique

Hardly talked at all
Those cards proved me wrong.
They were listening.
I stood tall and strong
Their eyes glistening,
